Below is the text of Mr Major’s written Parliamentary Answer on Specialist Claims Control on 29th January 1986.


Mr. Cohen Asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he has completed the consideration of the study of specialist claims control undertaken by his Department; what conclusions the study reached on the position of those whose benefits are stopped following an investigation and subsequently restored; if he will publish the study; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Major I refer the hon. Member to the reply given by my hon. Friend the Minister for Social Security to my hon. Friend the Member for Aberdeen, South (Mr. Malone) on 12 June 1985 at columns 482-483, and to the statement and copy report placed in the Library on that date.
